Since politicians have a reputation for being the world's most useless beings & all of Elon's government downsizing efforts have been blocked in courts, this might be the 1st time since the Thai cave rescue fiasco he's been completely useless.  At least the AI phase led to a minimally useful image generator. 

  Suspect absolutely no voluntary resignations are going to get a severance. That's joining the USAID fiasco in the court of doom.

Lions would classify AI image generators as marginally better than looking up an image on tineye was, 20 years ago.  You have to win the prompt lottery to get much originality.

The deciding factor with language models is when they start creating content we're actually interested in seeing.


This is an interesting picture & it's probably from AI.  It's a very common pattern in the training data. What's fascinating might be being surrounded by ice mountains & clouds in arctic dusk.  In real photos of ice bound ships, there are no mountains.


They stay in the middle of a channel.

Only 3 images per day with the free account.  Grok seems to just degrade the quality over time. 


A politician actually did something.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a sou...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they ...
